Kelvin temperatures - What the lighting looks like. (Also see the floor lamp further down this page):

Be certain to do your homework so you will know what the bulb's package information is saying.Always look for the bulb's Kelvin temperature indication on the labeling. See the chart of the color range to choose the rating that's best for your needs.Some are dimmable; some are not. Dimmables are generally more expensive.Though prices are falling rapidly, there is a great variance in prices and quality. It's a good idea to view with suspicion those names you never heard of and stick with names you know. Quality and life-span do vary. Of course, be on the alert for sale prices.It has been my experience that a “60-watt equivalent” LED bulb emits light that is every bit as good as a 75-watt incandescent bulb. It does this while using only about 10 watts of electricity.

Example: A lighting fixture over a dining room table uses five bulbs. Five 75-watt bulbs equal 375 watts. Five LEDs equal 50 watts.Further, LED flashlights are somewhere near awesome! They also give great light while using a minimum of current drain on the batteries. For instance, if you have a standard incandescent flashlight that is so dim that the batteries need replacement, you could put those batteries into an LED flashlight and the light would be bright. LED flashlight “bulbs”, because of their low-current demands, squeeze every possible bit of current from the batteries.

Having said all this about switching to LED lighting, there still might be times that you will want to use a standard incandescent bulb. They are cheap to purchase and you will likely have a number of them that you have removed when you installed LEDs. The old bulbs can be used in areas where the light will be on intermittently, such as closets, storerooms, or hallways.

Winter can wreak havoc on a person’s internal clock. Energy tends to fade along with the sunlight, and a subset of the population experiences a form of depression that takes hold when sunny days all but vanish around November. A startup called Ario wants to help those people with a smart lamp designed to emulate optimal sunlight and, potentially, keep the winter blues at bay.

Ario has turned to Kickstarter to help it realize that goal. The company wants to raise $50,000 through the campaign, and it plans to get the first lamps to backers by the end of 2016, after it works out any kinks in the manufacturing process. It has also raised an undisclosed amount of outside funding — the lamp’s existence doesn’t hinge on the success of the Kickstarter campaign.

The lamp itself boasts an Internet connection; LEDs that change their hue in accordance to the ideal sunlight patterns, as determined by the company; and on-device controls that mean anyone can use the product without having to fumble around with a smartphone application or dedicated remote control. All of this is supposed to make it the ideal gateway to the future of lighting.https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/arioliving/ario-smart-lighting-better-health
